Wheel choices?

[scoop2004]

Hi all, Im back after my brief stay here last time as i will be buying another E34 when i return to the UK in 3 months time. Im putting together the car in my head and need help on what wheels I can put on the car.

I want bigger wheels than the standard cross spoke nastiness ones but i still want them to look OEM so ideally BMW wheels or alpinas or replicas. but i also want a perfect fit,and a size that will still give a smooth ride so no stupidly small tyres. What offset and PCD is the 520 and 525 E34 and what other models of BMW share those figures.E36s?E39s?

Stock offset is 20mm. E39s have a larger hub bore and require "hubcentric" rings. E38 wheels fit fine, not sure about E36 but think offset is wrong.

How much would those rings cost and will the E39 wheels sit right with them on? what type of wheels do most people use?

You can install all current 5,6,7, and 8 series wheels... The E39 need hubcentric rings which cost about $30 a set... However, if I remembered correctly, in UK, you have insurance issue with aftermarket wheels... so it might be best you stick with available BMW wheels.
